Bouncy Castle Hire St Albans – Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I arrange bouncy castle hire?
For St Albans parties, we recommend booking as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. Spring and summer weekends become busy quickly, particularly for popular themes within our Kids Bouncy Castles and larger units from Bounce & Slide Bouncy Castles. Early booking gives you the best choice.
What types of bouncy castles do you offer?
We provide a wide selection of inflatables, from classic children’s castles to slide combi units and larger activity inflatables. Popular options include the Unicorn Combi Bouncy Castle, the Super Duper Superhero Bouncy Castle 13 x 13ft, and bigger units such as the Assault Course 3 Parts. For teenage and adult use, browse our Adult Bouncy Castles for suitable alternatives.
Can you set up in halls and indoor venues in St Albans?
Yes, we regularly supply school halls and community centres. If ceiling height is limited, please view our Low Height Under 9ft or Indoor Inflatables categories. Always confirm your venue’s ceiling height and available floor space before booking.
How do I book a bouncy castle?
You can book online at any time through our website. If you would like to check availability first, call us on 07759 302704. You can also send your details via the Contact Us page and we will confirm everything with you.
What time will the inflatable be delivered and collected?
Most deliveries take place between 8am and 12 noon, depending on the day’s route. Collection is usually arranged between 5pm and 7pm, giving you use of the inflatable for the full afternoon. If your venue has specific access times, please mention this when booking.
What is included in the hire price?
Your hire fee includes delivery, professional setup, secure anchoring, inflation and collection. We supply the blower, extension leads, RCD protection and safety mats where required. Clear operating instructions are provided so the inflatable can be supervised correctly.
How much space and access is required?
The exact size of each inflatable is listed within All Products. In addition to the footprint shown, allow at least 4ft clearance at the front and rear and 2ft at either side. We also require an access route of around 3ft wide to move the equipment safely into position. The ground must be level, as inflatables cannot be installed on noticeable slopes.
What do I need to provide on the day?
You will need access to a standard 240v mains power supply within 30 metres of the setup location. The area should be cleared of furniture, toys, sharp objects and pet waste before we arrive. Two forms of identification, such as a driving licence and a utility bill, are required as part of the hire agreement.
How do payments and cancellations work?
We do not usually request a deposit. Payment is typically made on delivery in cash, or by debit or credit card via PayPal. If paying by cheque, it must be received at least five working days before the event so funds can clear. You may cancel up to the day before your booking without charge. If poor weather is forecast, you can cancel before delivery. Once the inflatable has been delivered and set up, the full hire fee becomes payable.
Are your bouncy castles insured and safety tested?
All of our inflatables are regularly maintained, fully safety certified and covered by public liability insurance. We take care to install each unit correctly and provide clear safety guidance to help ensure your St Albans event runs smoothly.
Do you cover other nearby areas?
Yes, we also deliver to surrounding towns including Luton, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead, Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes. If you are unsure whether your postcode is within our delivery area, contact us and we will confirm availability.
